We good.

@BShark two 7 footers in the line up. Decent from the field 45 % from the 2 - - - 35 % from the 3 - hits the boards pretty well 38.1 - -gonna be interesting

Oh right, basketball still exists. Let's go Jayhawks

Sherfield will go off tonight

Need Juando tonight

Right on cue

Non-shooting foul? lol

Refs suck

Dave man lol

Dave misses the dunk then the ball doesn't go in because he was holding onto the rim

Nice pass, Remy

Will Baker still :pile_of_poo:

Nice dave

Bad shot but it went in

Ball-fake would have been good there, Ochai

Defense looks pretty good though

Cb is fun to watch

The D looks like it is coming into conference play form

@BShark we here and morphined up!

Different looking McCormack tonight. I like it.

That's all Dave needs to do. Take his time and just shoot that hook

2 pt defense better with Dave, 3pt defense worse.

Posting up CB 😍

Wow flop

CB!!!!

CB has gotten a lot better at finishing

Wow that's freaking big time!!!!

💪💪💪

CB has officially hacked the matrix

lol Remy

Lol lucky CB didn’t get a Gould called there

I appreciate that Remy is trying to be a facilitator.

Stone hands

Problems on both ends when Jalen comes in. Now we get the Jalen Mitch combo. :beer_mug:

@BeddieKU23 said in Surprise (Nevada) Game Thread:

Pass could have been much better tbf

Honestly just keep Juan on Sherfield all night.

MITCH

That pass

Can't watch. Old computer won't play ESPN+, phone casting to TV too slow. Aggravated can't watch. Will miss more KU games this year than in a long time.

Juando on both ends baby

Yeah he has bought in a bit. He has never been an efficient scorer so in a way I am glad. He can get a tough bucket when needed obviously.

Pleasantly surprised. Came ready to play

Wow Kentucky was up 20 when I turned it off

Wilson has a chance to make our offense more dynamic, but Jalen needs to play defense too

Love that from Dajuan. Gotta make them respect you.

@KirkIsMyHinrich said in Surprise (Nevada) Game Thread:

On one hand yes, on the other hand he can't go left which limits the offense.

@BeddieKU23 Hilarious because MU is really bad!

@BShark He's not an ambidriver

Early JCL sighting :eyes:

How much longer is Pettiford out?

2nd made three of the year for a Nevada player? Clockwork

Bill Self loves line-ups that can't score.

Flop

Way too much Jalen Mitch combo, for reference. Extra struggle because Harris is in with them. 3 non-scorers...

Different hair style, different Dave.

Damn

Stagnant

Self created this ugly

Still not thrilled with Self's rotations

@RockChalkinTexas said in Surprise (Nevada) Game Thread:

Definitely. Bill still hasn't figured out bench combinations that work. Starting line-up is excellent at least.

I think we match up with okay with Baylor tbh. Their bigs don't really score a ton

Hey that wide open Harris three looked good

Agree, this is the best Remy has looked in terms of contributing to winning basketball.

Obviously Hurley didn't hold him accountable.

Dave would miss layups on a 5 footer

Oh great, more Mitch/Jalen

Help your teammate, guys

Uh oh

Tough to go 0 for 3 or 4 on a possession....

Yikes

This sucks

Travel? WTF?

Get these guys out

It's the unis

Can't imagine Zach gets in again after that stint.

If you play Zach 30 seconds at a time he's not going to get better...

Well. Shit. Wanted more Zach

KJ passing out of the post better than SR Dave

Ochai has been too quiet. Get it going

Yeah I mean hey. Best frosh wins I guess

YO REMY

I swear Remy shoots the 3 from his hip

Wow went from 6 up to 12 up on the ESPN box in a flash.

Ok we turned it up

I'll live with stepback 2's

@KirkIsMyHinrich said in Surprise (Nevada) Game Thread:

The more I see him play, the more I realize he just isn't ready for this level of ball yet. He will get there just not this year. Been a great practice player, staff loves him so that is not the issue.

Remy is passing up the good and forcing passes,

We can't have Wilson and Clemence in the same lineup.

@stoptheflop said in Surprise (Nevada) Game Thread:

His wind-up is very slow. Staff could have fixed it with time, but not as a 1 year rental.

Self seems happy. All things considered we got a better opponent and up 12

@BeddieKU23 said in Surprise (Nevada) Game Thread:

Bill Self play KJ more challenge 2022.

@BShark I just disagree. Freshman are going to make mistakes, you have to let them play through it. He'll learn if he keeps playing, but you need to play him now against Nevada so he's not making mistakes later in March.

Zack is not with it at all. Scared of the hook maybe.

Badgers up by 10 at the half, Jayhawks up by 12, but in the upset of the day, the Badgers outscoring the Jayhawks.

We're shooting 57%. How is it that we're not blowing out this team?

Because Bill thinks it's a good idea to play Harris, Mitch, and Jalen at the same time.

ESPN has us projected as the 2 seed in Midwest with Purdue as the 1 . I don’t think there is much diff with that and being the 1.

@approxinfinity 2 seed rather

@KirkIsMyHinrich said in Surprise (Nevada) Game Thread:

This year he even got to see a Dayton team doing the opposite that played through their mistakes and won...

Svi is getting decent PT with Raptors and being everywhere on the court.

I'd give that kid a call this offseason if he does.

Juan always passes it into peoples shooting pocket on the perimeter. It’s almost effortless. Last one was across the body didn’t pivot no look to baseline Remy right into his pocket. Gnarly brick but not Juans fault. All the other guys often pass it behind their teammates shooting pocket. This is why Juan makes us shoot better

@approxinfinity He passes it on time, too. A lot of other players passes are late. It makes the offense stall when the passes come late.

That's something I've noticed Pettiford does well too

Problem for Nevada is they aren't very athletic. That accounts for much of the foul discrepancy.

If Juan scores, it's just a bonus. It is crystal clear by now that he is critical to the flow of the offense. He is a very good ball handler and passer, and he doesn't turn the ball over. KU TOs are way down from previous years, and that is because we have two true guards that don't force passes (especially into the paint)....

@RockChalkinTexas Pretty good with Mitch never taking that long 2 ever again

Remy's flat MJ shot never looks like it's going to go in

I'm not saying Jalen is blameless, but it might be hard to get going in this lineup

Coleman lands wastes way too much time trying to shoot bricks

Honestly, I don't think Wilson is a huge problem. Sometimes I think he would look a lot better if he didn't have to play with the bench lineups that he usually does. That's kind of how I feel with Braun last season vs this season.

Wilson does need to get better on defense though

That is the crux of the issue. Och and CB are better overall performers at the 3/4 spots and are going to get 30++ mpg. Probably just 15 mpg subbing for them. The real minutes are at the 5. But he doesn't want to play a back to the basket role and HCBS doesn't see the fit. They're both obstinate. Jalen could get 20 minutes subbing for Dave, but when he is in, the offensive mindset would need to shift - open up the middle even more than with Dave or Mitch....

@wissox said in Surprise (Nevada) Game Thread:

This is all ESPN+'s fault

I didn’t watch live. My ESPN+ playback kept crashing in the second half. Unusual for me at least.

That was a mostly impressive win. Sluggish effort for a few somewhere in there, but great second half recovery.

Remy even tried to score more! Need more of that IMO.

Well, this is now an established team. With Pettiford out, that pretty much leaves Mitch and Jalen as the main guys off the bench. I’d be fine if Coleman Lands never played again. 25 year old dude shooting bricks is painful to watch.

And poor Yesufu may not see much time unless we have foul trouble. Had high hopes for him. Still time I suppose.

@mayjay I could, but it's not worth it to me. I'd rather gripe! One problem is my old computer doesn't play any videos on ESPN anymore so ESPN+ doesn't work on my laptop. I am getting a new computer one of these days so I'll just wait til I get it.

@wissox have you tried a roku or other streaming device connected to your TV. If the tv has an HDMI port, most flat screens do, it is an easy setup and the espn app on my roku works seamlessly with espn+. Much cheaper than a new computer I think I spent $49 on a middle of the road roku and I get the big screen to watch on.

Yup, easy. I got the Google Chromecast device, which I rarely use but it works great when I do. Real simple. $49

Like @kubie said, all ya need is the HDMI slot. Done.

@Kubie Thanks, trying to avoid roku's right now. I need a new computer, I wouldn't be getting it just for ESPN+!! I do have a chromecast and would use it with my computer. Struggled to make my phone work with it on the TV however even though other things work with it.

Just to be clear, @wissox , I’m talking about this Google Chromecast thing. Don’t need to use your phone with it to watch on the TV... :) it’s like your own little portal for streaming services.

@rockchalkjayhawk My computer won't play the stuff I need it to so the Chromecast thing is moot if the computer won't play it!

Ha. gotcha. Sorry for the troubles @wissox !
Sorry Santa didn't bring you a new computer.
And i'll make one final attempt at clarity, then I'll shut the heck up! :)
You don't need your computer or phone to use Google Chromecast. Plug the device into your TV and connect to WiFi and off you go.
Best of luck watching the Hawks!! Rock Chalk!

Roku stick or Amazon fire stick is your best bet. Don't need a computer to use either one.

Thanks guys, not getting a Roku.
